Teacher of Maths with Science

Applications are invited from hard-working, experienced, committed and motivated practitioners from an ALN or mainstream background (primary or secondary). Experience of ALN will be an advantage, but not essential. The school is seeking to appoint an innovative teacher who is passionate about their subject and has the vision to promote the highest standards of attainment, for young people with additional learning difficulties. The role will be largely a maths teaching role from September 2024, but may also include some teaching of science from September 2025. As such previous experience in the teaching of Maths and Science in mainstream or special at any level would be an advantage for this post.

Maesgwyn Special School is an exciting place to work; with a forward-thinking staff dedicated to constantly developing new and innovative working practices.
